I have a new to me M1008 with 44k miles. I have installed an electric fuel pump and get a strong unbroken stream of fuel out of the fuel bleed outlet. While cranking I get no coughing, no hesitation, no signs of the truck attempting to come to life. The glow plugs are getting 11v at the...

Wow, that is pretty wild Bigzirb. There is a guy at work that just got his oil changed at some quick place and they put his quart of lucas oil in it, like he asked. Then they gave him his keys back. The car made it 12 days before throwing a rod. Not too bad.

I have been working feverishly on this truck. After my oil change saga I hooked up an electric fuel pump today. I have a stream of fuel at the filter now, but it is somewhat broken. I'm concerned I am getting air in the lines. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to tighten all my connections and crank...

I tried the screwdriver trick, it pushed right through. When i tried to twist it, no luck. I ended up putting a cheater bar on the end of the screwdriver and all it did was tear the metal around the filter. Wagonfire where are you a fireman at?

I attempted to change my oil for the first time on the M1008. Little did I know the fun I was about to have. It took me about 4 hours over 2 days, and a plethora of cursing including the ultimate, "IF YOU DON"T COME OFF RIGHT NOW, SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL SEND THIS WHOLE TRUCK TO THE CRUSHER."...

I did remove the fuel cap, i have not disconnect the fuel line yet at the fuel pump, I work 24 hours tomorrow but I'll try that Monday morning, i'm tempted to just add an electric fuel pump anyway, they are cheap enough insurance.

Well, I installed 8 new plugs today and attempted to start, it cranked freely but no smoke from tailpipe and failed to start. I attempted to bleed the filter but didn't get any fuel out. Then i pulled the fuel inlet hose to the filter and cranked the engine, bone dry. I know there is fuel in the...

While waiting on my plugs to arrive i decided to top off my batteries with distilled water, together they took almost half a gallon. Did I do any damage placing them on a 1 amp trickle charger for 24 hours prior to adding water? I also ordered a new drive-shaft from A1 driveshaft in south...

Thanks everyone! I have a set of plugs on order and the batteries are charging. Anyone know how long govliquidation takes to get the title or SF97 mailed out?

Picture Here is where I stand now.

Hello, I just took home my first m1008. I purchased her on 12/27 from gov liquidation and was notified my EUC was done last week. When i arrived today to pick her up at 9 am at Ft Meade it was blowing rain and snow with about 2 inches on the ground. Not the best day to say the least. I also was...

Those are some amazing pictures. As a east coaster I am very jealous.

It looks good.

I would appreciate that Powerhouse.

Also welcome from a fellow new guy.

Annapolis I'm also looking for insurance in Maryland, not for a M35 though. Just a M1008. BTW I'm from Annapolis.
